The first match for the first place in history was held at the home stadium of Samsung, ahead of KT and its opponents.
With over 12,000 spectators sold out, the game was decided by a mistake in a tight pitching match between KT Quevas and Samsung Won Tae-in.
In the 6th inning, KT Shim Woo-jun ran to second base with a bad throw at first base following an infield hit, and Baek-Ho Kang hit Won Tae-in's fastball in the second out and one third base opportunity, breaking the balance of 0 with a one-run time hit.
On the other hand, KT faced a crisis of two-out 1st and 3rd base due to the mistake of catching a floating ball in the 7th inning, but Cuevas struck out Lee Won-seok and roared, and KT away fans were enthusiastic.
KT won 1-0 and finally won the regular league championship 7 years after its founding.
When the championship was confirmed, the team all ran to the ground to enjoy the joy, and Baek-ho Kang, the main character of the final blow, shed hot tears.
[Kang Baek-ho/KT: I really want to win, and I have to go through a lot of hardships, so I think it made me cry a lot. I hope the day will come when I can go to the Korean Series and smile at the top.] The
unpredictable competition for the regular league championship ended with KT's first win in the first 145th game in history.
The KBO League will start autumn baseball starting tomorrow (1st) with a wild card game.
